Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: Excellent

We had an excellent time at dreams jade. Serving staff were very attentive and the quality of food at the restaurants was very high. We enjoyed Spice and the Italian restaurant, Miguel who works at Spice made the teppanyaki table a fun experience. The entertainment staff work very hard and really improved our vacation experience, I’d like to mention Saul and Angel for the great work they do to engage with guests at the resort.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing Resort

My husband and I had a marvellous time at the Barceló Colonial. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The nightly entertainment at the theatre was very good. We would certainly recommend it to our friends. We would certainly revisit.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Family Oriented Resort with Beautiful Beach

We enjoyed our time at the Barcelo Maya Tropical. We were blessed with amazing weather and the beaches were clean with crystal clear water and white sand (end of April). We have travelled to Mexico several times and in recent years have been very disappointed with the seaweed - fantastic to not experience this on our holiday. The Barcelo is a large and well appointed resort. We loved the architexture and abundance of public spaces to relax. A few areas needing improvement include the food - whil [... read more]e we were able to find options, the overall quality was not as good as many other resorts we have been to. Public restrooms were often not equiped and properly cleaned - this was really suprising. Rooms are opened with key cards that often stop working - front desk staff are quite dismissive and not helpful. The staff in all other areas are kind and helpful. Beautiful walking paths and landcaping throughout the resort. We would definitely consider comimg back with grandchildren as there were so many activities for children to have fun.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Terrible

Hi Nicole thanks for your service it worked well at the airports and arriving at the resort and leaving. Not impressed with resort it was spread out too much a lot of walking just too big. Rooms are falling apart air conditioning hardly worked patio door would hardly open bathrooms was falling apart. Not impressed. They charged us 120$us for sunscreen deodorant and 2 toothbrushes a total ripoff. Not impressed wouldn’t go back. I would definitely use you as a travel agent. Thanks Doug Moore

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Beautiful Resort!

Overall the resort was amazing. The people were very welcoming and professional. The food and multiple in house services were great. Downside: I booked a room in the adult only section of the Hotel (paid extra for this feature), but had young children across the hall and as close as two rooms down from our room. We were told that it was the correct section, but we were also told that some rooms had to be reassigned because of renovations. Paid extra for an ocean view, but was in a courty [... read more]ard view. Saw nothing but a pool under renovation and the back of other rooms which were under renovations as well. Would have been nice to be informed about the “Diamond Club” option. Unless you were registered at the resort under the “Diamond Club”, lunch was not made available to other guests, nor could we make reservations which booked up all the restaurants for the other guests.

Krystal Cancun: Good hotel

The location of the hotel was very close to the market and clubs. Food was fresh but not many choices . Mediterranean food was the best. Rooms were clean and all staff were friendly the best part was ocean . The made a Brooke water and everyone could swim in it ocean .

Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun: Wouldn’t return

My husband, daughter and I went for a week and boy what a disappointment. The grounds are nice and so is the beach. Other than that not much more positive things to say about this place. Food was a disappointment.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Bahia Principe Coba

The hotel, food and staff are great! The grounds are beautiful and the beaches are maintained and security is present. Just watch out for the exchange rates in the jewelry store ( not managed by the hotel) as they quote you in US$ but charge you in Mexican pesos. This is fine but we got charged $100 US over what they quoted. Ask for the price in pesos and do your own conversion.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Beautiful Resort

The food was amazing, the staff were friendly, the room met actually exceeded my expectations - can’t wait to go there again, would love to take my grandchildren. The beach was ok but the pool was great and the swim up bar was excellent, they were fast and didn’t have to wait long

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Great resort

The beach at Maya Beach was excellent, very clean and seaweed was cleaned up everyday. There was only a little bit in the water. The rooms were a bit dated but clean. We had amazing service from all of the staff. The a-la-carte restaurants were amazing with the exception of the Steakhouse (food was cold and service was terrible). Buffets were ok for lunch and breakfast. We tried the snack bars but food was not great. The best bartender is located at the lobby bar and her name is Maria, sh [... read more]e makes the best drinks. My only complaint was we had to have our room card reprogrammed over 15 times during our 10 day stay. Several guests were in the same boat as us.

Villablanca Huatulco: Highly recommend.

Wel kept hotel, friendly, and helpful staff. We had a few issues with the toilet in our room, and staff were quick to respond and rectify the problem. Great breakfast buffet, lots of variety.. Pool well kept, and cleaned every morning. Pool was a bit warmer than I would have liked. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone not looking for all inclusive. A great base to go from and explore the many great beaches in the area.

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa: Best Vacation and Wedding Ever

Fabulous holiday - 10 Days - Wedding group of 30 Family and Friends! The Wedding info and advice at the end! Everyone in our group of Canadians loved this resort! 04/20-30/2024 No complaints! Everyone agreed it was beautiful and so was the beach! The people that work there are so friendly, and at your service! They all seem to love to be there! The food is off and on good. Never had a bad meal, but I do agree they could do better! I certainly did not starve, between room service - Omele [... read more]tte, Club sandwich, Quesadillas, Guacamole and chips, Cheeseburger and Fries, etc. Restaurant - La Patio - Mexican - loved the Bario Tacos, and the Steak fajitas. Restaurant - Teppanyaki - Japanese - People loved the Sweet and Sour dish, I loved the Beef Wok! Restaurant - Portifino - Italian - We thought the Lasagna and NY steak were lovely Restaurant - Bordeaux - our table didn't like anything, even the chicken tasted like fish, but our family at the next table served 1 hour later, and we arrived the same time, they loved their same meals. The Steak and Lobster Tail Romantic beach dinner was lovely and Jose made it very special. It’s $350usd plus $50usd for an extra Lobster tail. 4 lovely courses, champagne etc. We were glad we did it! The Tour that includes 4 tours in one, everyone that went said it was awesome! Including ATVing and see Monkeys, Zip Line, Cenotes - Cave snorkelling, and then 2 hot, but interesting hours, at Tulum! Best advice - pay the extra $25usd for ATV insurance. The best part everyone agreed was the snorkeling in the caves - Cenotes! We did a 6 hour Deep Sea Fishing trip from Cancun, so 90 minute drive there and back! They said $150usd p/person, but then plus taxi, plus local taxes it worked out to @ $300 p/person, but that’s still cheap for the expierience. Take Gravol, as the waves are high, and the Diesel from the boat can be stinky! They catch the bait first, which was just as interesting, and that could have been the trip! We were lucky we caught 2 Trophy size Barracudas, over 50pounds, &56 inches! One person out of six was sick, so really make sure you are seaworthy! The pool games are fun and loud at 12p to about 3p. If your room is the building beside the pool it can be very noisy, but we didn’t mind. At night it can be noisy too, as it’s beside the most popular bar - Sugar Reef Bar. Again, we didn't mind as it always finished right at 11:00pm The Cocoa Cafe is lovely and the Preferred lobby and check-in is there too! PREFERRED, was worth it to us, as we are older and have bad knees, so we could ask for anything and it was done for us. We felt like Rock stars, as my husband says! Everyone is friendly and very accommodating. Jonathan, the Preferred Concierge is Awesome, and so is Angel, the manager of Preferred! Their co-worker Angeles, and bartender Edwin were very friendly and helpful. Light healthy snacks are offered in the Preferred lounge. We will return to Jonathan and Angel - as well as Salvador on the Preferred Beach any day - WE LOVED IT!! If you have trouble getting around, you would want to stay on the Preferred side of the resort, as they can get their golf carts down that side. The Preferred beach is quieter, but the entrance to the ocean and the ocean floor are more difficult with rocks and shells. However, the Cabanas at $80usd per day were very nice, and more a treat for a day, as you get Preferred drinks and food and service. FYI - I was afraid I would be very hot in general in Mexico, and that the humidity would ruin my holiday - I was very apprehensive! But the constant breeze from the ocean made a huge difference! Just stay close to the pools or ocean to stay cooler. We will be back for sure! I was a travel agent for 36 years, and this is, in my opinion, a well maintained, friendly, beautiful, organized, safe place to consider for a holiday! Nothing is perfect, but all the positives here, out weigh any negatives! My understanding is that Hyatt acquired Dreams, and they have a plan to make it, and keep it at a higher standard. I think that’s why there were some negatives reviews, they may have been caught in the changeover! Enjoy! ? WEDDING - we had Victoria as the Planner and she is unbelievably awesome! So organized and it’s like breathing to her. My DIL was very anxious, but Victoria made everything so easy, that my DIL was very calm! The wedding on the beach was gorgeous! I can’t imagine not doing it on the beach, as you are here anyways! The 4pm ceremony was perfect! The reception was on the Sunset Terrace, which was beyond beautiful! Perfection is all I can think of for this Holiday and Wedding at DREAMS TULUM!!!!! ! Best wishes! ??

Barcelo Maya Palace: Maya palace over premium at the maya beach

In the last year i have stayed at both the bercelo maya beach non premium and the maya beach premium oceanfront , given a choice the service at the maya palace was far superior then the beach resort. The only down fall of the palace resort is that you have to travel 3 hotels down to strikers sports bar to get drinks after 12 and food after 10 pm

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Absolutely Beautiful Resort

This is our second visit to this resort and once again it did not disappoint. The cleanliness is on point and then some . The rooms are beautiful with everything you could need . The ala carte restaurants are very good, all of them ,and the buffet always have many many delicious options. The beach is very nice but was quite windy this time so water was very rough. There are 5 pools to choose from 2 have swim up bars. Staff and bartenders are so accommodating and pleasant they really are part of  [... read more]the experience. My only negative would be it is quite far from any and all activities so do anything at all is a full day affair. Which wasn’t awful I’m just saying. Pretty sure we will go back perhaps next spring .. Marianne & Jim

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Nice resort but has room for improvement

We enjoyed our vacation but the resort is not as good as it was last time we visited pre-covid. Rooms seem like they could use an overhaul. One of our party had a light that was broken. Our toilet needed a minor adjustment. Door locks were finicky and the balcony door didn't lock at all. We found that food has gone down in quality. Still good but it was amazing last time. Just decreases in premium items an inconsistent availability of items. Same issue with drinks. No access to top shelf brands [... read more] unless you pay royal member pricing. Last time we were able to get it by request. Last time we were able to get Victoria beer but this time only Modelo or Corona light. We had to buy Victoria off resort and bring it in. Drinks were different at each bar. You can't order an amaretto sour at one bar and get the same at another. Bartenders were not trained the same. We had two under 18 (15 + 16) with us and we were charged adult prices yet they were banned from adult pools even though they were better behaved than majority of drunk adults. If you are charging adult prices the adult pools should be regulated based on behaviour not strictly age. It's not like indecent behaviour is permitted in the adult pools.its purpose is to provide a pool where you aren't getting splashed or hit with balls etc. policing based on behaviour would be more fair. There is very little for teens under 18 to do in the evenings. Since adult prices are charged there should be an effort to provide entertainment for this age group. Even the arcade was pay based and highly over priced. Why not open the disco earlier for all ages and then move to 18+ after 11pm since it currently doesn't open till then. Open the sports bar to all ages or provide access to games such has pool somewhere they can use. The walking at this resort is extreme. Shuttles use to be scheduled here but this time it seems they were only available when a sales pitch came with it. Boats use to be available to the park also but now only available for the higher level resort. These things were disappointing, but overall we had a great time. Enjoyed the park, the pools and the ocean. Staff are friendly and mostly helpful. No one went hungry and there was plenty of food items that were great. Pacos was the best, most consistent restaurant.

Secrets Aura Cozumel: Secrects Aura Cozumel

Spent alot of money on our vacation. Celebrating our 20th anniversary. We splurged and got a swim up room. The hotel was a little tired/dated but at least it was clean. The food which I was looking so much forward to was ok. We had to go to into town to get good real Mexican food.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Resort is huge!

If you don't or can't walk miles and miles all day long do not go to occidental xcarat. The resort is so big that it takes to much time to get to one place to another. I also paid for a package that included a bottle of tequila and a fruit basket which I did not receive even though we asked almost everyday, we found that we had to do a lot of administrative work with Nexus. The light was out in the bathroom which we also asked to have replaced and no one came we had one light in the shower for [... read more] the whole washroom. The drinks are sub par. No top shelf and only two types of beer Corona and Mondela so if you don't like those then don't go to this resort. We had to get someone to get us good beer from off resort. The food was good, paco tacos was amazing! There are so many animals hanging about including iguanas of all sizes, deer, monkeys, snakes and scorpions! Unexpected scorpion! The bartender immediately took care of it for our safety. Decent place to go, it was clean but not the 5 star I was told about.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: It was OK...

Was excited to go back to a resort we enjoyed 1 yr ago but Disappointed. Had requested a king bed, not main floor, not poolside. They gave us the king but on main floor by the pool entrance. Told us we could pay to upgrade to a suite, declined an additional $1300 USD. Room was tired, toilet didn't flush & took 4 hours for someone to fix it. Food and drinks were good, lobby staff not helpful at all. Brazilian and Italian a la cartes best restaurants. We stayed in adult only select section.
